[@Mr.Dave] I gave Flashpaste a try. Found it will let me create a simple “macro” that can open a web page or folder or file/program. And it lets me nest folders within folders in its menu structure. This may be a good alternative to the Start menu in Windows 11! For example, I can have folders set up like this:
1. Programs…
1. Games…
2. Music…
1. Practice & Lessons…
1. Band In A Box
2. Best Practice
3. Chords & Scales
4. Groove Box
5. Guitar Pro 8
6. MuseScore 3
7. Phrase Trainer 2
8. Piano Teacher 200
9. Riff Station
10. TrueFire
2. Record, Mix, Master…
1. Amplitube
2. Bias FX
3. Guitar Rig 6
4. Midinouse
5. Mixcraft Studio 9
6. Waveform 12.5
3. Standalone Plugins…
1. Amps…
2. Drums & Percussion…
3. Orchestral…
4. Piano/Organ…
5. Synthesizers…
6. Others…
3. License/Product Managers…
3. Office…
4. System & Security…
2. Documents & Folders…
So, in only a few keypresses I can get right to what I want. This is only a small sample of all my programs. Windows 11 Start menu doesn’t allow nested folders so it takes too long to scroll around & find things, especially if I can’t think of the name.
